If you didn’t check it in, you probably can’t. So check in often! You've heard a lot of us say commit early and commit often - that's why. I use git for a LOT of my personal stuff. It lets me go back easily when I've shot myself in the foot (as I do often), and it also lets me go off on several tangents all at once (yeah, scatterbrained). I have a "remote" repo on my LAN that I push to as often as I commit. That way if I happen to be at a different computer I can just clone the repo and have the same thing I had on the first computer, and if my laptop should die, my important stuff is in the repo even between backups. And not only that, when I have something I want to share with others, I simply push my LAN remote repo to gitorious and my friends can follow along. So get real friendly with git. It isn't just one of those process things you put up with for your guide, it is an amazing tool. --McD -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
